Summer Programs

Extended School Year Program

Our four-week extended school year summer program is open to CID students and other children ages 3–12 who are deaf and hard of hearing. The program is taught by experienced CID teachers. It features morning speech, language and academic instruction and engaging afternoon field trips to great places in St. Louis.

Each day is filled with fun listening, speaking and language-learning opportunities.

CID offers full scholarships to all children who are deaf and hard of hearing and eligible for this program. For more information, please contact Amy Hudson.

Summer Enrichment Program

CID offers three one-week summer enrichment camp sessions in June for general education students with hearing loss. Students ages 6–12 and 8–15 enjoy reconnecting with old friends and making new ones while working together on theme-based projects. At the end of each week, campers share a culminating experience with their families, CID extended school year students and staff. This year’s program features sessions on dramatic arts (ages 6–12), puzzles and mystery (ages 6–12) and engineering adventures (ages 8–15).

Campers have shared how nice it is to socialize with peers who understand what it’s like to be deaf or hard of hearing. A limited number of siblings may also attend camp.

Details about the 2025 program are expected to be available in February.
